Chevron Corp said on Monday it would buy smaller rival Hess Corp in a $53 billion all-stock deal, taking its rivalry with Exxon Mobil to the next level by boosting its presence in U.S. shale and oil-rich Guyana. Acquiring Hess adds 30% ownership in over 11 billion barrels of oil equivalent of discovered recoverable resource in Guyana and 465,000 net acres of high-quality, long-duration inventory supported by integrated midstream assets in the Bakken to Chevron’s portfolio, along with assets in the Gulf of Mexico and a natural gas business in Southeast Asia. Given that Exxon Mobil had effectively taken itself out of the running for large-scale M&A following the recent Pioneer deal, we would have thought Chevron could bide its time, and hence we are a little surprised at the timing of this deal.  ( 34 min )

A surprise first place for Argentina's ruling Peronists in a general election on Sunday could calm market fears about a runaway win for libertarian radical Javier Milei who has pledged to dollarize the economy and shut the central bank.

Governments should open a new front in the international clampdown on tax evasion with a global minimum tax on billionaires, which could raise $250 billion annually, the EU Tax Observatory said on Monday.

Yields on the benchmark 10-year Treasury, which move inversely to bond prices, rose briefly to 5% late on Thursday, a closely watched level not seen since 2007.  ( 34 min )
